Question

percents
finding the total amount given the percentage of a partial amount
in a recent year, 34.3% of all registered doctors were female. if there were 59,700 female registered doctors that year, what was the total number of registered doctors?
round your answer to the nearest whole number.
registered doctors

Explanation:

Step1: Define variables and formula

Let $T$ = total registered doctors. We know $34.3\% \times T = 59700$, so $T = \frac{59700}{34.3\%}$

Step2: Convert percentage to decimal

$34.3\% = 0.343$, so $T = \frac{59700}{0.343}$

Step3: Calculate and round

$T \approx 174052.48$, rounded to nearest whole number is 174052

Answer:

174052 registered doctors
